An interesting example in the BBC news tonight. A couple took their baby son on a seven-hour drinking session. Mark and Petra Tyler, 46 and 24, of Reindeer Street, Mansfield, were arrested in September after being refused entry to a pub. A landlord alerted CCTV operators who then called police when they saw the boy's buggy tipping from side to side. The child was described by police as hungry and had a filthy bottle filled with sour milk in his pushchair. The father of the child came out of the court and put his two fingers up at waiting reporters and shouted "fuck you all". And we wonder where children get their examples from. They got a slap on the wrist for it. I would have taken the child off them and placed it in care and stuck them two in jail. Neither work for a living which is why they can aford to drink.
